So what state are they in and do all the connections make sense?

It looks like I've got 400 ESTABLISHED connections this fine Sunday afternoon.
59 systems with one 6 with two 4 with three 4 with four 2 with five 1 with six 1 with nine 2 with thirteen and one each with 17, 21, 34, 56, 58, and 62
I decided to look a little closer at the top offenders
62 connections: RH8.0 desktop with the user still logged in. Stop and restart nscd and those dropped to 4.
58 connections: ditto in all respects
56: ditto again, but restarting nscd left around 20 trapped in CLOSE_WAIT
34: This system is the current IMAP server and all the conenctions look legit (if you accept that every authenticated imap and smtp process is supposed to hold an LDAP connection open for as long as it exists)
21: another RH8.0 desktop
17: and another
The thirteens were also RH8.0 desktops...
None of my older (7.2) or newer (FC1) desktops were in this state, despite people leaving themselves logged in rather equally across platforms. Step next is to turn all of those RH8.0 desktops into FC1.
Oh, and for the record on how our open files are doing: [bevan@urd ~]> cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 932 305 209708
...and no 'Too many open files' disaster again... yet.
